# Animate a series of images
Use a series of [image sources](https://docs.mapbox.com/style-spec/reference/sources/#image) to create an animation.
> Example code:
**JavaScript**
```html
Animate a series of images
```
**React**
```jsx
import React, { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
import * as mapboxgl from 'mapbox-gl/esm';
import 'mapbox-gl/dist/mapbox-gl.css';
const MapboxExample = () => {
const mapContainerRef = useRef();
const mapRef = useRef();
useEffect(() => {
mapRef.current = new mapboxgl.Map({
// TO MAKE THE MAP APPEAR YOU MUST
// ADD YOUR ACCESS TOKEN FROM
// https://account.mapbox.com
accessToken: 'YOUR_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN',
container: 'map',
// Choose from Mapbox's core styles, or make your own style with Mapbox Studio
style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/standard',

basemap: {
theme: 'monochrome',
lightPreset: 'night'
}
